Not the first one...

Last 2 weeks, three helicopters accidents had happened in Spain.

- Bell 212, destroyed, 2 pilot killed.
- Bell 412, destroyed, no injured.
- R44 , 2 days ago, no data by now.

Spain has the WORST accident rate in the whole world...

Fly safe.

Why do you say, this and if true the reason ?

[Smike]

Sadly true...reasons, maintanance, pilots flying when they should stay on the ground coz of the weather, too many hours,etc,etc,etc...

I just hope this changes in near future.

Cheers

Why post a link to a spanish article? Why not just tell us what it said.
The Italians wrote off one of the nicest S64's a month ago for no good reason, so I think the Spanish aren't maybe the worst after all?

Why post a link to a spanish article?

Why not?? There's many Spanish/ Spanish speaking people here. At least Smike told us all that there wasn't much details in that article except the fire-fighting part....
Off-topic on
What bothers me more are the posts written in other language than english here. Like one topic lately where there were multible posts written in portugese. I'm sure mods here have a good skill in portugese because they aloud the topic to stay...
Off-topic off
Glad to hear people on board survived.

It,s all ba**s then

I have to agree, I recently stepped away from employment in spain. when I looked around and saw the maintenance facilty it was not very good.
It seems to be shifting now, alot of the training schools are all trying to get part 145 approval, with some difficulty, due to fact of knowledge on the maintenance part.
